Beech Ridge7/5/13 Scarborough, ME

Friday’s NASCAR Nite Pro Series 50-lap feature event was won by junior driver Tyler King. The recent high-school graduate from Livermore Falls edged the lead from South Portland’s Mike Maietta, Jr., at the halfway point of the race.

Maietta led from the pole starting position, pacing the 17-car field to green flag. At the drop of the green flag, Maietta battled for the lead with Durham’s rookie Evan Beaulieu. On lap four, Maietta was able to gain an advantage going into turn one and took a car-length’s advantage over Beaulieu. Maietta led until the halfway mark, when King tried to conquer the lead from him.

Lap 24 proved worthwhile for King, as he followed from his second-row starting spot and made three separate attempts to overtake Maietta from the inside lane before becoming successful.

Speedway 95(Hermon) On the eve of the fourth of July (7/3) Speedway held a heavy card of racing for Wacky Wednesday, with plenty to make up for, after a series of rained out events in the last month.

In the Ladies division, Nicole Smith of Clifton started strong at the beginning of the feature, however, lost the lead at the 4th lap when she spun out in the backstretch. After pitting and falling down a lap, she returned the field. Erin Evans of Milo also looked good for the first 13 laps, as she held onto the third spot. Mechanical trouble caused her to return to pit and repair. Amy Houde of West Enfield took the lead at the restart of lap 4 and took it to the checkered flag. Hermon’s Rhonda Wilbur also has a strong performance, finishing the race in the second spot. The top two spots were the only cars to finish the race on the lead lap. Although technically, Smith too the third spot, a post race inspection disqualified her for too low front strut spacers, moving Holly Washburn of Brownville up to the third spot in her first appearance at the track this season.
